<h1 id="why-dotty">Why Dotty?</h1>
<p>
Dotty is a platform to try out new language concepts and compiler
technologies for Scala. The focus is mainly on simplification. We
remove extraneous syntax (e.g. no XML literals), and try to boil
down Scala’s types into a smaller set of more fundamental
constructors. The theory behind these constructors is researched in
<a href="https://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/215280">DOT</a>, a
calculus for dependent object types.
</p>
<h1 id="is-it-the-future-scala">Is it the future Scala?</h1>
<div class="centered-text">
<p>Yes, it will be - eventually.</p>
</div>
<h1 id="can-i-use-it">Can I use it?</h1>
<div class="centered-text">
<p>
<a href="#getting-started">You can!</a> But it currently comes with
no guarantees of stability.
</p>
</div>
<h1 id="is-there-scala-2-interop">Is there Scala 2 interop?</h1>
<div class="centered-text">
<p>
Dotty currently interops with libraries compiled with Scala
2.11 - but not 2.12
</p>
</div>
<h1 id="how-do-i-migrate-my-code-to-dotty">How do I migrate my code to Dotty?</h1>
<p>
An automated rewriting tool is planned for Dotty, more on this to come.
Scala 2 sources can be compiled to some degree by issuing:
</p>
<pre class="sourceCode bright"><code>./bin/dotc -language:Scala2 file.scala</code></pre>
<p>when compiling your program.</p>
